Description

The ProVu PD6310 is an 1/8 DIN pulse input (NPN, PNP, TTL, switch contact, sine wave, etc.) digital batch controller specifically designed for single and multi-stage batching applications. It provides excellent but simple batch control capabilities with features such as preclose relays and automatic overrun correction for more accurate batches and intuitive front panel buttons for simple operation and menu navigation. The preclose deactivates a specific relay on the batch controller before the batch is finished in order to allow slower fill rates and increased accuracy. Automatic overrun correction keeps the batch size accurate over time and with system wear. With expansion module relays, up to eight-stage batching is possible; each additional stage-batching relay has an individually programmable preclose amount. Like all ProVu meters, the PD6310 batcher includes UL / C-UL listing and CE marking, a NEMA 4X front, and AC or DC power options.

PD6310 Pulse Input

Inputs: Field selectable: Pulse or square wave 0-5 V, 0-12 V, or 0-24 V @ 30 kHz; TTL; open collector 4.7 k Ω pull-up to 5 V @ 30 kHz; NPN or PNP transistor, switch contact 4.7 k Ω pull-up to 5 V @ 40 Hz; coil (sine wave) 40 mVp-p min @ 10 kHz; Modbus PV (Slave)Low Voltage Mag Pickup (Isolated): Sensitivity: 40 mVp-p to 8 Vp-pMinimum Input Frequency: 0.001 Hz – Minimum frequency is dependent on high gate setting.Maximum Input Frequency: 30,000 Hz (10,000 for Low Voltage Mag Pickup)Input Impedance: Pulse input: Greater than 300 kΩ @ 1 kHz. Open collector/switch input: 4.7 k Ω pull-up to 5 V.Accuracy: ±0.03% of calibrated span 1 countDisplay Update Rate: Total: 10/sec, Rate: 10/sec to 1/1000 secTemperature Drift: Rate display is not affected by changes in temperature.Multi-Point Linearization: 2 to 32 pointsLow-Flow Cutoff: 0-999999 (0 disables cutoff function)Decimal Point: Up to five decimal places or none: d.ddddd, dd.dddd, ddd.ddd, dddd.dd, ddddd.d, or dddddd.Calibration: May be calibrated using K-factor, scale using internal calibration, or calibrate by applying an external calibration signal.K-Factor: Field programmable K-factor converts input pulses to rate in engineering units. May be programmed from 0.00001 to 999,999 pulses/unit.Calibration Range: Input 1 signal may be set anywhere in the range of the controller; input 2 signal may be set anywhere above setting.Filter: Programmable contact de-bounce filter, 40 to 999 Hz maximum input frequency allowed with low speed filter.Time Base: Second, minute, hour, or dayLow Gate: 0.1-99.9 seconds; this function determines how often the incoming pulses are calculated and the rate display is updated.High Gate: 2.0-999.9 seconds; this function determines how long to wait for pulses before the display goes to zero. This function is used to display slow pulse rates.Note: The combination of the low and high gate functions makes it possible to have a fast display update for fast pulse rates while displaying slow pulse rates, if needed. For example: If the low gate is set to 1.0 second and the high gate to 999.9 second, with a fast pulse rate the display is updated every second; with a slow pulse rate the controller is capable of waiting up to 999.9 seconds before calculating the rate, making it possible to display a very slow rate down to 1 pulse/999.9 second (0.001 pulse/second).

Applications

Batch Control

A ProVu NTEP® Certified batch controller can be programmed for a wide variety of applications. Setup is easy for single or multi-stage batching. Automatic overrun correction keeps the batch size accurate, even over time and with system wear. It can record grand total, or non-resettable grand total with a time base of seconds, minutes, hours or days. The user can program a conversion factor, and configure a non-resettable grand total, and password protection.

Single and Multi-Stage Batching

The ProVu PD6310-WM can be used as a single or multi-stage batch controller. Relays assigned to the total act as batch control relays, with additional relays beyond the first including a preclose value. The preclose deactivates the relay before the batch is finished, to allow slower fill rates and a more accurate batch finish. With expansion module relays, up to eight-stage batching is possible. Each additional stage batching relay has an individually programmable preclose amount.

Single Stage Batch Control

Multi-Stage Batch

Manual Multi-Stage Batch Control Operation

System Setup 1. Both valves are closed with an empty barrel in place. The batched total is displayed in the upper display, the preset is selected for the lower display.

Batch Start 2. The START button is pressed, with both valves open. The barrel begins to fill.

Preclose Valve 3. When the batch total reaches a value of 50.00 (Preset [55.00] Preclose [5.00]) the full-flow valve closes. The fill rate of the tank slows as a result.

Completed Batch 4. When the batch total equals the preset amount, the restricted-flow valve closes. The barrel is now full. If some overrun occurs, the next batch will adjust for this offset amount to maintain accuracy.

Change Preset 5. After placing a new, empty barrel, a new preset fill amount may be selected with the Batch key, while the process is stopped.

Begin New Batch 6. Press the START key and a new batch will begin. With both valves open, the process continues.

Pause/Stop 7. At any time, the STOP button may be pressed, once to Pause the process, or twice to cancel the batch, which stops the process.
